Technical Capabilities
CNC Draaimachine – Technical Specifications
The term “CNC draaimachine” refers to a CNC turning machine, commonly used in Dutch-speaking regions. In modern manufacturing environments such as Honyo Prototype, CNC draaimachines are often integrated with milling capabilities, enabling multi-axis turning and milling operations. These machines are critical for producing complex, high-precision parts from a variety of engineering materials including aluminum, steel, ABS, and nylon. Below are the technical specifications focused on 3/4/5-axis milling-turning hybrid capabilities and tight tolerance production.

These specifications reflect the capabilities of advanced CNC turning-milling centers used in precision prototyping and low-to-mid volume production at Honyo Prototype. The integration of 4 and 5-axis functionality allows for complete machining in a single setup, reducing lead times and enhancing dimensional accuracy across complex geometries.
From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype CNC Machining Process Overview
Honyo Prototype executes a streamlined, technology-driven workflow for CNC machining projects, including CNC turning (draaimachine), designed to ensure precision, efficiency, and client transparency. The end-to-end process comprises five integrated phases, each optimized for rapid prototyping and low-volume production.
CAD Upload and Initial Processing
Clients initiate the process by uploading native or neutral CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, or native formats like SolidWorks, Fusion 360) via Honyo’s secure customer portal. Our system performs automated geometry validation to verify file integrity, detect potential errors (e.g., missing surfaces, unit mismatches), and confirm manufacturability within standard CNC turning parameters. All data is protected under ISO 27001-certified cybersecurity protocols to safeguard intellectual property.
AI-Powered Quoting Engine
Uploaded designs are processed through Honyo’s proprietary AI quoting system, which analyzes geometric complexity, material requirements, tolerances, and surface finishes against real-time machine availability, material costs, and labor rates. The AI generates a detailed quote within 2 hours, including cost breakdowns for material options (e.g., aluminum 6061, stainless steel 304, POM), secondary operations (e.g., anodizing, threading), and expedited lead times. Clients receive instant digital access to the quote with interactive adjustment capabilities for scope or timeline changes.
Engineering-Driven DFM Analysis
Upon quote acceptance, Honyo’s manufacturing engineers conduct a rigorous Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review. This phase combines automated simulation tools with expert human analysis to identify optimization opportunities, such as reducing setup changes, adjusting non-critical tolerances, or suggesting cost-effective material substitutions. Engineers collaborate directly with clients via video conference or annotated reports to resolve conflicts, ensuring design intent is preserved while maximizing efficiency. Typical DFM turnaround is 24–48 hours, with critical feedback prioritized for time-sensitive projects.
Precision Production Execution
Approved designs move to Honyo’s climate-controlled production floor, where CNC turning centers (including multi-axis live-tooling lathes) execute machining under strict ISO 9001 quality management. Each part undergoes in-process inspections via CMM and optical comparators at critical stages, with real-time SPC data logged to our MES. Material certifications and first-article inspection reports (FAIR) are generated per AS9102 standards for aerospace/medical clients. Production batches include traceability tags linking each component to machine logs, operator IDs, and calibration records.
Quality-Controlled Delivery
After final inspection and surface treatment (if specified), parts are packaged using anti-corrosion materials and shipped via tracked logistics partners. Honyo provides digital delivery confirmation including full inspection dossiers, material certs, and PPAP documentation where required. Standard lead times range from 3–10 business days for turning projects, with rush options available. Post-delivery, clients receive a project performance summary highlighting adherence to specifications and opportunities for future collaboration.
This integrated approach reduces time-to-part by 30% compared to industry averages while maintaining <0.005mm tolerances, positioning Honyo as a strategic partner for engineering teams requiring agile, high-integrity CNC solutions.
